its ruling the Supreme Court highlighted
00:01:52

00:14:54
a stand against poaching she warns them
there's fewer animals will mean fewer
00:14:58
tourists and therefore bad economic times
and then there is the cruelty of poachers

who often take the ivory tusks from living
elephants and leave them to die in agony
00:15:10
people hack the elephant tusks out of their
heads and she say some of them imagine

Well comedy can play an important role in
sparking dialogue and societies and many
00:16:29
authoritarian countries including Zimbabwe
comics have tread lightly when it comes
00:16:35
to politics but with the end of the
government to former President Robert Mugabe
00:16:40
Zimbabwe's humorists say there's
00:16:42
a new sense of freedom of
speach. Reporter could even of
00:16:45
a She recently spoke to several comics about
the changing approach today to teasing
00:16:51
politicians and celebrities.
00:17:01
Comedy Zimbabwe has kept
00:17:02
a Zimbabweans laughing through the mission's
most trying times comedian Clive talks
00:17:07
about the history of the committee industry
in the Zimbabwe. With their built way

and then after that then came
00:17:21
into Poland and all this. Force coming to
giving building up shores this way comedy
00:17:27

00:17:30
a bit stagnant because of the crisis but
I'm happy that we have so many young
00:17:36
comics that are coming
out of comedy has played
00:17:39
a crucial role in starting
social debate in Zimbabwe. He's
00:17:44
a comedian who's taking name is
the comic pasta in the park the.
00:17:51
Thing to watch whatever you're
doing. Right now I think there's
00:17:58
been a change been. Added to the
President Mugabe's government had
00:18:03
a lot of intolerance for political comedy
in my course in my to ses that's changing
00:18:09
in that it's been a struggle but the
comedy business is starting to be
00:18:13
a fruit there we've been patient for so
long. As do the president of Zimbabwe I
00:18:18
mean we've been receiving there is saying
to bring the political jokes and stuff
00:18:23
but now it is different now is happy that
the comedians can actually do funny jokes
00:18:28

Ok you have to stop it my to Ed's that

business is beginning to provide financial
big king for comedy many companies
00:18:57
sponsor comedians to enhance their
brand even using them as commission
00:19:02
advertisements aimed at consumers.
Corporate sponsors so far.
00:19:10
Especially now that
00:19:11
a. Lawyer that would give his
family had to buy it some point 2
00:19:18
of infused some people to believe in as in
they are now regular customers and some
00:19:22
of them just molecular.
We do make jokes. Plays
00:19:27
a role in influencing the public's
perception of politics. But it does play
00:19:33
a vital role in terms of politics because

00:33:38
I've been watching him and he's Ok he's not
in the same league with Anthony Joshua
00:33:43
he would stand and fight and when you stand
in front of homeboy he will take you
00:33:47
out you know you've decided to run that's
00:33:49
a different thing until you just have to
cut the ring but I bet you one thing's
00:33:54
going to be an exciting fight and somebody
will go down Joseph Parker the w b
00:33:59
o heavyweight champion the w.b.c.
00:34:02
Heavyweight champion is Dion tae wilder
of the United States what does he have
00:34:08
coming up in 2018. Sunny in the month of
February the young will take on Louise
00:34:15
Ortiz from. Remember Luisa t.
00:34:18
Has got busted for steroids so this is
being cleared now the fight is going to
00:34:23
happen in New York City but really I don't
really puts Louisa T.'s in that category
00:34:29
of the number one contender of
00:34:31
a good fight it will be one of these easy
blowout fight for the un to wild and
00:34:36
after that he was so out the bomb squad you
know and then challenge Antony Georgia
00:34:41
it's going to be
00:34:41
a no fight Luis ots will be knocked out by
Dion to wed and that will prove nothing
00:34:46
to boxing fans in America. What about
Dion Tay Wilder Anthony Joshua nom
00:34:53
de do you see that maybe late in 2018 I
keep telling people and tuna just to I
00:34:59
don't need to. Be done to what I'm going
to draw in America and to New Jersey who
00:35:05
has big fish to fry Tyson Fieri
and even David Haye this
00:35:11
a fight that will feel the stadium
Tyson Fury against Anthony just for
00:35:15
a small market tabled in the
un to wild against a.j.
00:35:19
This fight with wild I would have to
happen. I would say 2019 spring and people
00:35:25
think I'm crazy for saying that because.
He's not dead the numbers are not there
00:35:31
this cat in America is not
00:35:32
a pay per view draw he cannot feel arenas
you know and you need 2 to tango you know
00:35:37
and and Tony just why don't really need to
come to America to make money he can do
00:35:41
90000 in the u.k. He can do big paper
view numbers you bring him to the u.s.
00:35:47
17000 a rino fight in
00:35:49
a guy he can destroy Now we need to wait
for this fight like we say in the fight
00:35:55
game matter need. Naam do you talk
about big pay per view numbers
00:36:02
$1.00 of the biggest fights of 2017 in
terms of pay per view numbers we've been
00:36:08
doing this for 21 years I told you guys
I come straight so you know what coming
00:36:13
straight I was going to take some contacts
I could have sat back and just boxed and
00:36:19
counterpunch and made a born I don't want
to do that I feel like a lot of fans
00:36:24
a last hurrah so I went out there my dad
communicated before we went out there
00:36:29
don't game plan was to go out there and
let him shoot heavy shots from the
00:36:33
beginning taken down
00:36:34
a stretch and do we do best and that's what
we did tonight that's Floyd Mayweather
00:36:39
speaking after his 10th round technical
knockout victory over Conor McGregor in Las
00:36:46
Vegas Nevada the final
figures are in Tel r.v.o.
00:36:51
Way boxing fans the details his 4 point
$3000000.00 Pay Per View buy in not
00:36:58
America which means the fight pulled in
more than $600000000.00 that he. And you
00:37:04
know who has the record for the biggest
paper you numbers go back and eighty's
00:37:09
fried me with
00:37:10
a Games money in 20154600000 break it
down Nandi How much did each fighter
00:37:17
get from that Meg about don't forget now
for I mean. And I was just not only the
00:37:22
fighter he was also the promoter
so he got his friends and the
00:37:29
back and fried me what I walked
away with more than $350000000.00.
00:37:37
And a kind of migrate I'm
00:37:38
a $100000000.00 Now with such money from
that fight nom de Witt Conor McGregor go
00:37:45
back to m.m.a.
00:37:47
Or maybe try his luck again in the boxing
ring we don't even know if he's going to
00:37:51
fight again because he's still busy
counting $100000000.00 if you have
00:37:55
a $100000000.00 in that bank who you
want anybody to touch you know.
00:38:02
Nom de another big fight in 2017
Sol Canelo Alvarez from Mexico
00:38:09
he fought to a draw against Get
Noddy go aloft in triple g.
00:38:14
Will there be Canelo triple g 2 in
2018 Sunday to date is almost said
00:38:22
no we're looking at this
happen in May 15th at t.
00:38:25
Mobile arena the question becomes will the
2nd fight sellout like the force fight
00:38:31
you know well remember this is
00:38:33
a very important weekend for Mexican boxing
fans Cinco de Mayo and they come out in
00:38:39
large numbers they are in I would sell out
00:38:41
a lot of fight friends believe
kind of lost their last fight and
00:38:46
a lot of fight fans believe that Judge
stole the fight from triple G.'s So who is
00:38:51
come out and see if the Mexican warrior
will take out trip or do you see the
00:38:56
Mexican warrior Canelo making
adjustments in the rematch Sonny has no
00:39:03
choice he must make I just meant he must
lend how to cut of the ring he said
00:39:07
warrior we've seen him fight he must take
it to be put in the body stay in the body
00:39:12
to run your company but destroy the lazy
jab and try to look pretty steady had
00:39:17
a warrior we've seen you fight
take it to 3 Puji he stands
00:39:20
a chance of even. Stopping trip like
I've said in the past we were very
00:39:24
disappointed in the last fight I said
Mexican if he comes out on runs like he did
00:39:28
a lot of fight his friend bays would never
forgave him so we must see action come
00:39:33
May 5th with Canelo and triple to nom
de also in 2017 the Australian fighter
00:39:40
Geoff horn captured the w.b.
00:39:43
Oh well 2 way title belt with
00:39:46
a controversial victory over Manny
Pacquiao what's next for Horn in 2018
00:39:53
when you can add that to the robbery of
2017 because Jeff Han did not win that
00:39:57
fight he just admitted the defense of his
title in Australia and pulled big numbers
00:40:03
but now he has amended 3 against Terence
Crawford Crawford knocked out draws in
00:40:08
don't go in the blue machine and Jeff Hahn
is saying he needs $4000000.00 before he
00:40:14
can step into the ring with Terrence Crawford
do you see the promoters giving horn
00:40:19
that kind of money Nandi
No he's not even what
00:40:22
a $1000000.00 money coming we're going to
look at numbers when we only talk fights
00:40:26
you know turns Crawford is a
great fighter but he's not
00:40:29
a pay per view fight. You
can watch him on e.s.p.n.
00:40:33
For free cable China but when you pay
$4050.00 the open $70.00 to see him
00:40:40
fight no he's not
00:40:41
a superstar you know we're going to find
it for me down dollars to give Jeff on
00:40:45
busy clearly what he's doing is trying to
cash is trying to say I'm not ready to
00:40:50
fight out I want to fight he's talking about
fighting 20 Mundine from Australia for
00:40:54
2000000 dollars Sonny So basically they
would have to take his belt away from him
00:40:59
and would Terrence Crawford then fight
another boxer for that belt Well w.b.
00:41:05
All would then go into the King and sit in
this available fire and they would fight
00:41:10
for the Vic and was
00:41:11
a title in the meantime Geoff Hahn will
try to see if he can get Tony Mundine for
00:41:15
$2000000.00 We believe Jeff Han has got
lucky nights truly out and if he steps into
00:41:21
the ring with Terrence Crawford
he would be distraught. V.o.a.
00:41:26
Sonny young you're listening to the sunny
side of sports on the Voice of America
00:41:30
I'm talking with Nom de Mo way to our
reigning prince of pugilistic so about boxing
00:41:37
in 2018 we're also looking back to some
of the top fights from 2017 let's move
00:41:44
to the African fighters in
2018 Nandi and begin with
00:41:49
a guy named warrior Richard Komi What does
he have lined up for the New Year was
00:41:55
sunny the best mood Richard Kogan made was
coming to America aligning himself for
00:42:01
a promoter in Lou de Bella the fights that
Richard Komi lost in America if he had
00:42:06
a promoter behind him we know what we
call in the fight game insurance box
00:42:11
insurance they will not have stolen the
fired from him with her but he still has
00:42:16
now said for the finally mean ation the we
know this fight must fight about Easter
00:42:21
according to the b.f.
00:42:22
He's going to take on legs and Luna of
Bellflower California over the final
00:42:27
elimination and check this
Luna is not. The Fighter is
00:42:32
a 22 and 15 big knockout So this fight
may end up in San Antonio in Mexican
00:42:38
territory home by from
Accra Ghana but I bring is
00:42:41
a game for this elimination fight because
Luna is going to fight but the we know
00:42:45
this fight must fight the champion robot
is Tim another guy named warrior Isaac dog
00:42:52
Bo the sunny side
00:42:54
a sports prospect of the year for 2016
it looks like he could be maybe crowned
00:43:00
world champion nom de tell us about
that very important fight happening in
00:43:05
a cry Ghana January 6th they call
it but all of the Gold Coast's.

interrogate Waller the title of w
00:43:23

this will happen at the book I'm. In
00:43:31
gonna If you're in
00:43:32
a crowd gonna place to be January 6th I
bet you one thing being that are you know
00:43:37
because going to be bombs away. And I'll
be dead must be too dog Bo's advantage to
00:43:43
be fighting in front of friendly fans there
in Accra I don't contact the Mexicans
00:43:48
because the Mexican War is they would go
into your bedroom and take you out. In
00:43:54

00:44:04
a gonna but study Remember
this past year we saw
00:44:09
a fight for the 1st time from Africa on

says I Where as will be streamed live for
00:44:22
us on Facebook so we can see around the
globe big things happening in boxing and I
00:44:27
believe the promoters from Ghana would do
the same thing the promoters. Some advice
00:44:32
if I did Facebook still with African
fighters Nandi What about the Ugandan lion
00:44:38
Sharif. Son had to lie on his back you know

judge or referee still

a fight from you because the fly middleweight
is behind you so. Sheriff Bulgaria

00:47:29
a drawing here which is better. To.
Go back to that fired from to come

me of when I'm going to lies very guys in
00:47:41
a big I realize Packwood fight fans and
everybody's running with each punch and
00:47:45
they're finally dumped expectation before
this fight between. Become bankrupt it
00:47:50
was a lot of talk
00:47:51

00:48:01
a great fight you had
00:48:03

00:48:43
a great fight Sonny Nandi earlier we

00:48:56
a very good ones really and I'm really

00:49:06
sunny sallied he can punch 3 and 0.
3 knockouts what I like about this
00:49:13
cat right now is that he has
00:49:14
a very good team good
promoter good manager running
00:49:20
a walk class trainer and
not only that he has
00:49:22
a rich head chef and he's one of the top
promoters in America and Shelly Finkel
00:49:27
actually Finkel used to work with Iron
Mike Tyson So what we have here is
00:49:33
a young heavyweight from Nigeria been
moved into Ryan and his fights been on
00:49:39
television so when we come back again
at the end of 2018 when we look at
00:49:46

00:49:48
a job I remember that name heavyweight would

to the Division 2 bucks
00:50:15
a class act Sania you can hear him talk
even if you look at him the way he carries
00:50:21
himself outside
00:50:22
a rain we don't have anybody like that and
not only that he still has his roots in
00:50:27
the model that you know
2018 is going to be
00:50:30
a huge year for him people say oh I look
at the flash fight would. He did not
00:50:36
notice it in not do that but don't forget
that fight was the last minute fight he
00:50:40
had to make adjustments for that
fight 2820 with Joseph Parker
00:50:47
Tyson few retaining himself. And then one
more fight because he said it was only
00:50:51
$23.00 fights and. Then the on to why I
don't know the Under was going to what I
00:50:57
would have to see to improve himself in
America before we can demand that fight
00:51:02
with the man the ground the

00:54:58
Next an editorial reflecting the views
of the United States government in
00:55:02
announcing the national security
strategy for the United States under his
00:55:06
administration President Donald Trump
emphasized renewed in their. In leadership
00:55:10
and renewed American strength that
leadership and strength will now be based on
00:55:15
what he calls principled realism we face
rogue regimes that threaten the United
00:55:20
States and our allies we face terrorist
organizations transnational criminal
00:55:26
networks and others who spread violence
and evil around the globe we also face
00:55:31
rival powers Russia and China that seek to
challenge American influence values and
00:55:37
wealth we will attempt to build
00:55:40
a great partnership with those
and other countries but in
00:55:44
a manner that always protects our national
interest to succeed said President Trump
00:55:51
the United States must integrate every
dimension of our national strength and he
00:55:55
must compete with every instrument of our
national power the new strategy advances
00:56:00
for vital national interests the 1st is
the protection of the American people
00:56:04
homeland and way of life that means
securing America's border including by
00:56:09
constructing
00:56:09
a wall on the southern border and ending
chain migration in addition our strategy
00:56:15
calls for us to confront discredit and
defeat radical Islamic terrorism and
00:56:20
ideology and to prevent it from spreading
into the United States and we will
00:56:26
develop new ways to counter those who use
new domains such as cyber and social
00:56:32
media to attack our nation or threaten
our society the 2nd vital national
00:56:38
interest is promoting American prosperity
economic vitality growth and prosperity
00:56:43
are absolutely necessary for American power
and influence abroad President Trump
00:56:48
said that is why he is removing regulations
that stifle business championing tax
00:56:53
cuts promoting free and fair trade policy
and unleashing American energy the 3rd
00:56:59
pillar of the strategy is preserving peace
through strength including by rebuilding
00:57:04
and modernizing America's military we
recognize Mr Trump said that weakness is the
00:57:09
sure. Path to conflict and unrivaled power
is the most certain means of defense
00:57:15
finally the United States will seek to
advance American influence in the world by
00:57:19
forging strong alliances based on
cooperation and reciprocity and while not
00:57:25
imposing America's way of life on anyone
by championing American values without
00:57:30
apology with every decision and every action
said President Trump the United States
00:57:35
is rebuilding our nation our confidence
and our standing in the world. But it was
00:57:42
an editorial reflecting the views

comedy business is starting to be
00:18:13
a fruit there we've been patient for so

about getting into the ring because the
00:32:35
way he looks now he looks more like
00:32:37
a sumo wrestler you know. He
likes to take bro. Every way
00:32:44
to remember that. Anthony Joshua he
holds several world title belts nom de
00:32:51
What does he have coming up in 2018
00:32:54
a very very important fight for and 2 New
Jersey shore he said unification fight
00:32:59
against Joseph Paca of New
Zealand Gustaf Buckeyes a w b
00:33:04
o heavyweight champion of the wall they've
been trying to break bread and they've
00:33:09
been going back and forth with displayed
Joseph Packer ones 40 percent of the gate
00:33:14
and the paper view numbers but he's not
00:33:16
a draw so they've been trying so they're
very close we expect. And I mounted maint
00:33:22
right after the holidays looking
at my print in the u.k.
00:33:28
Unification fight you just have parka
against Antonin Joshua for w.b.
00:33:32
Or title nom de do you give Joseph
Parker any chance against a.j.
00:33:38
I've been watching him and he's Ok he's not
in the same league with Anthony Joshua
00:33:43
he would stand and fight and when you stand
in front of homeboy he will take you
00:33:47
out you know you've decided to run that's
00:33:49
a different thing until you just have to
cut the ring but I bet you one thing's
00:33:54
going to be an exciting fight and somebody
will go down Joseph Parker the w b
00:33:59
o heavyweight champion the w.b.c.
00:34:02
Heavyweight champion is Dion tae wilder
of the United States what does he have
00:34:08
coming up in 2018. Sunny in the month of
February the young will take on Louise
00:34:15
Ortiz from. Remember Luisa t.
00:34:18
Has got busted for steroids so this is
being cleared now the fight is going to
00:34:23
happen in New York City but really I don't
really puts Louisa T.'s in that category
00:34:29
of the number one contender of
00:34:31
a good fight it will be one of these easy
blowout fight for the un to wild and
00:34:36
after that he was so out the bomb squad you
know and then challenge Antony Georgia
00:34:41
it's going to be
00:34:41
a no fight Luis ots will be knocked out by
Dion to wed and that will prove nothing
00:34:46
to boxing fans in America. What about
Dion Tay Wilder Anthony Joshua nom
00:34:53
de do you see that maybe late in 2018 I
keep telling people and tuna just to I
00:34:59
don't need to. Be done to what I'm going
to draw in America and to New Jersey who
00:35:05
has big fish to fry Tyson Fieri
and even David Haye this
00:35:11
a fight that will feel the stadium
Tyson Fury against Anthony just for
00:35:15
a small market tabled in the
un to wild against a.j.
00:35:19
This fight with wild I would have to
happen. I would say 2019 spring and people
00:35:25
think I'm crazy for saying that because.
He's not dead the numbers are not there
00:35:31
this cat in America is not
00:35:32
a pay per view draw he cannot feel arenas
you know and you need 2 to tango you know
00:35:37
and and Tony just why don't really need to
come to America to make money he can do
00:35:41
90000 in the u.k. He can do big paper
view numbers you bring him to the u.s.
00:35:47
17000 a rino fight in
00:35:49
a guy he can destroy Now we need to wait
for this fight like we say in the fight
00:35:55
game matter need. Naam do you talk
about big pay per view numbers
00:36:02
$1.00 of the biggest fights of 2017 in
terms of pay per view numbers we've been
00:36:08
doing this for 21 years I told you guys
I come straight so you know what coming
00:36:13
straight I was going to take some contacts
I could have sat back and just boxed and
00:36:19
counterpunch and made a born I don't want
to do that I feel like a lot of fans
00:36:24
a last hurrah so I went out there my dad
communicated before we went out there
00:36:29
don't game plan was to go out there and
let him shoot heavy shots from the
00:36:33
beginning taken down
00:36:34
a stretch and do we do best and that's what
we did tonight that's Floyd Mayweather
00:36:39
speaking after his 10th round technical
knockout victory over Conor McGregor in Las
00:36:46
Vegas Nevada the final
figures are in Tel r.v.o.
00:36:51
Way boxing fans the details his 4 point
$3000000.00 Pay Per View buy in not
00:36:58
America which means the fight pulled in
more than $600000000.00 that he. And you
00:37:04
know who has the record for the biggest
paper you numbers go back and eighty's
00:37:09
fried me with
00:37:10
a Games money in 20154600000 break it
down Nandi How much did each fighter
00:37:17
get from that Meg about don't forget now
for I mean. And I was just not only the
00:37:22
fighter he was also the promoter
so he got his friends and the
00:37:29
back and fried me what I walked
away with more than $350000000.00.
00:37:37
And a kind of migrate I'm
00:37:38
a $100000000.00 Now with such money from
that fight nom de Witt Conor McGregor go
00:37:45
back to m.m.a.
00:37:47
Or maybe try his luck again in the boxing
ring we don't even know if he's going to
00:37:51
fight again because he's still busy
counting $100000000.00 if you have
00:37:55
a $100000000.00 in that bank who you
want anybody to touch you know.
00:38:02
Nom de another big fight in 2017
Sol Canelo Alvarez from Mexico
00:38:09
he fought to a draw against Get
Noddy go aloft in triple g.
00:38:14
Will there be Canelo triple g 2 in
2018 Sunday to date is almost said
00:38:22
no we're looking at this
happen in May 15th at t.
00:38:25
Mobile arena the question becomes will the
2nd fight sellout like the force fight
00:38:31
you know well remember this is
00:38:33
a very important weekend for Mexican boxing
fans Cinco de Mayo and they come out in
00:38:39
large numbers they are in I would sell out
00:38:41
a lot of fight friends believe
kind of lost their last fight and
00:38:46
a lot of fight fans believe that Judge
stole the fight from triple G.'s So who is
00:38:51
come out and see if the Mexican warrior
will take out trip or do you see the
00:38:56
Mexican warrior Canelo making
adjustments in the rematch Sonny has no
00:39:03
choice he must make I just meant he must
lend how to cut of the ring he said
00:39:07
warrior we've seen him fight he must take
it to be put in the body stay in the body
00:39:12
to run your company but destroy the lazy
jab and try to look pretty steady had
00:39:17
a warrior we've seen you fight
take it to 3 Puji he stands
00:39:20
a chance of even. Stopping trip like
I've said in the past we were very
00:39:24
disappointed in the last fight I said
Mexican if he comes out on runs like he did
00:39:28
a lot of fight his friend bays would never
forgave him so we must see action come
00:39:33
May 5th with Canelo and triple to nom
de also in 2017 the Australian fighter
00:39:40
Geoff horn captured the w.b.
00:39:43
Oh well 2 way title belt with
00:39:46
a controversial victory over Manny
Pacquiao what's next for Horn in 2018
00:39:53
when you can add that to the robbery of
2017 because Jeff Han did not win that
00:39:57
fight he just admitted the defense of his
title in Australia and pulled big numbers
00:40:03
but now he has amended 3 against Terence
Crawford Crawford knocked out draws in
00:40:08
don't go in the blue machine and Jeff Hahn
is saying he needs $4000000.00 before he
00:40:14
can step into the ring with Terrence Crawford
do you see the promoters giving horn
00:40:19
that kind of money Nandi
No he's not even what
00:40:22
a $1000000.00 money coming we're going to
look at numbers when we only talk fights
00:40:26
you know turns Crawford is a
great fighter but he's not
00:40:29
a pay per view fight. You
can watch him on e.s.p.n.
00:40:33
For free cable China but when you pay
$4050.00 the open $70.00 to see him
00:40:40
fight no he's not
00:40:41
a superstar you know we're going to find
it for me down dollars to give Jeff on
00:40:45
busy clearly what he's doing is trying to
cash is trying to say I'm not ready to
00:40:50
fight out I want to fight he's talking about
fighting 20 Mundine from Australia for
00:40:54
2000000 dollars Sonny So basically they
would have to take his belt away from him
00:40:59
and would Terrence Crawford then fight
another boxer for that belt Well w.b.
00:41:05
All would then go into the King and sit in
this available fire and they would fight
00:41:10
for the Vic and was
00:41:11
a title in the meantime Geoff Hahn will
try to see if he can get Tony Mundine for
00:41:15
$2000000.00 We believe Jeff Han has got
lucky nights truly out and if he steps into
00:41:21
the ring with Terrence Crawford
he would be distraught. V.o.a.
00:41:26
Sonny young you're listening to the sunny
side of sports on the Voice of America
00:41:30
I'm talking with Nom de Mo way to our
reigning prince of pugilistic so about boxing
00:41:37
in 2018 we're also looking back to some
of the top fights from 2017 let's move
00:41:44
to the African fighters in
2018 Nandi and begin with
00:41:49
a guy named warrior Richard Komi What does
he have lined up for the New Year was
00:41:55
sunny the best mood Richard Kogan made was
coming to America aligning himself for
00:42:01
a promoter in Lou de Bella the fights that
Richard Komi lost in America if he had
00:42:06
a promoter behind him we know what we
call in the fight game insurance box
00:42:11
insurance they will not have stolen the
fired from him with her but he still has
00:42:16
now said for the finally mean ation the we
know this fight must fight about Easter
00:42:21
according to the b.f.
00:42:22
He's going to take on legs and Luna of
Bellflower California over the final
00:42:27
elimination and check this
Luna is not. The Fighter is
00:42:32
a 22 and 15 big knockout So this fight
may end up in San Antonio in Mexican
00:42:38
territory home by from
Accra Ghana but I bring is
00:42:41
a game for this elimination fight because
Luna is going to fight but the we know
00:42:45
this fight must fight the champion robot
is Tim another guy named warrior Isaac dog
00:42:52
Bo the sunny side
00:42:54
a sports prospect of the year for 2016
it looks like he could be maybe crowned
00:43:00
world champion nom de tell us about
that very important fight happening in
00:43:05
a cry Ghana January 6th they call
it but all of the Gold Coast's.

Isaac Ro you know it's time to
go we'll take on says race for
00:43:18
a man he co for the Vic can't
interrogate Waller the title of w
00:43:23
b or super button with title and
this will happen at the book I'm. In
00:43:31
gonna If you're in
00:43:32
a crowd gonna place to be January 6th I
bet you one thing being that are you know
00:43:37
because going to be bombs away. And I'll
be dead must be too dog Bo's advantage to
00:43:43
be fighting in front of friendly fans there
in Accra I don't contact the Mexicans
00:43:48
because the Mexican War is they would go
into your bedroom and take you out. In
00:43:54
front of your family your wife and brothers
and. This guy did her job. That's why
00:44:00
I'm telling fight fans in general

00:44:04
a gonna but study Remember
this past year we saw
00:44:09
a fight for the 1st time from Africa on
Facebook. Against become bank whom I
00:44:16
hope January 6th the fight with Dubbo and
says I Where as will be streamed live for
00:44:22
us on Facebook so we can see around the
globe big things happening in boxing and I
00:44:27
believe the promoters from Ghana would do
the same thing the promoters. Some advice
00:44:32
if I did Facebook still with African
fighters Nandi What about the Ugandan lion
00:44:38
Sharif. Son had to lie on his back you know

judge or referee still

a fight from you because the fly middleweight
is behind you so. Sheriff Bulgaria
00:45:00

00:47:22
let's move now Nandi to the sunny side
00:47:25

$27.00 team Sunny we have
00:47:29
a drawing here which is better. To.
Go back to that fired from to come
00:47:36
out in Guyana That's my kind of reminds
me of when I'm going to lies very guys in
00:47:41
a big I realize Packwood fight fans and
everybody's running with each punch and
00:47:45
they're finally dumped expectation before
this fight between. Become bankrupt it
00:47:50
was a lot of talk
00:47:51
a lot of hype and the whole city was
everybody was into it and if I had to do bad
00:47:56
and by c.s.i. Me and knock down the book
I'm bankrolled in the 7 try and it was
00:48:01
a great fight you had
00:48:03
a fight of the how can we forget and 20
just try games Klitschko side my god son I

with I was there was
00:48:29
a heavyweight fight we. I don't

00:48:32
a long time if I live up to spec Titian
megaproject Klitschko he came and he
00:48:39
fought and he's to it and because showed
the world that he's not done it was
00:48:43
a great fight Sonny Nandi earlier we
mentioned Isaac dog Bo the sunny side of
00:48:48
sports prospect of the year for 26 team

2017 so you have
00:48:56
a very good ones really and I'm really
really excited about this cat you know I've

been watching him from the Olympics he's
from Nigeria and if it I jabbed out his 66
00:49:06
sunny sallied he can punch 3 and 0.
3 knockouts what I like about this
00:49:13
cat right now is that he has
00:49:14
a very good team good
promoter good manager running
00:49:20
a walk class trainer and
not only that he has
00:49:22
a rich head chef and he's one of the top
promoters in America and Shelly Finkel
00:49:27
actually Finkel used to work with Iron
Mike Tyson So what we have here is
00:49:33
a young heavyweight from Nigeria been
moved into Ryan and his fights been on
00:49:39
television so when we come back again
at the end of 2018 when we look at
00:49:46
what's going to happen to f a
00:49:48
a job I remember that name heavyweight would
power heavyweight that can punch don't
00:49:53

Nandi the sunny side of
00:50:00
sports fighter of the year for 2017
hands down sonny and Tony just
00:50:07
from the u.k. And Nigeria
and Sonny a.j. A.j.
00:50:11
Has brought a lot of excitement
to the Division 2 bucks
00:50:15
a class act Sania you can hear him talk
even if you look at him the way he carries
00:50:21
himself outside
00:50:22
a rain we don't have anybody like that and
not only that he still has his roots in
00:50:27
the model that you know
2018 is going to be
00:50:30
a huge year for him people say oh I look
at the flash fight would. He did not
00:50:36
notice it in not do that but don't forget
that fight was the last minute fight he
00:50:40
had to make adjustments for that
fight 2820 with Joseph Parker
00:50:47
Tyson few retaining himself. And then one
more fight because he said it was only
00:50:51
$23.00 fights and. Then the on to why I
don't know the Under was going to what I
00:50:57
would have to see to improve himself in
America before we can demand that fight
00:51:02
with the man the ground the

Next an editorial reflecting the views
of the United States government in
00:55:02
announcing the national security
strategy for the United States under his
00:55:06
administration President Donald Trump
emphasized renewed in their. In leadership
00:55:10
and renewed American strength that
leadership and strength will now be based on
00:55:15
what he calls principled realism we face
rogue regimes that threaten the United
00:55:20
States and our allies we face terrorist
organizations transnational criminal
00:55:26
networks and others who spread violence
and evil around the globe we also face
00:55:31
rival powers Russia and China that seek to
challenge American influence values and
00:55:37
wealth we will attempt to build
00:55:40
a great partnership with those
and other countries but in
00:55:44
a manner that always protects our national
interest to succeed said President Trump
00:55:51
the United States must integrate every
dimension of our national strength and he
00:55:55
must compete with every instrument of our
national power the new strategy advances
00:56:00
for vital national interests the 1st is
the protection of the American people
00:56:04
homeland and way of life that means
securing America's border including by
00:56:09
constructing
00:56:09
a wall on the southern border and ending
chain migration in addition our strategy
00:56:15
calls for us to confront discredit and
defeat radical Islamic terrorism and
00:56:20
ideology and to prevent it from spreading
into the United States and we will
00:56:26
develop new ways to counter those who use
new domains such as cyber and social
